Avalanche Transistor: Avalanche breakdown, Bipolar junction transistor, Breakdown voltage - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An avalanche transistor is a bipolar junction transistor designed for operation in the region of its collector-current/collector-to-emitter voltage characteristics beyond the collector to emitter breakdown voltage, called avalanche breakdown region . This region is characterized by avalanche breakdown, a phenomenon similar to Townsend discharge for gases, and negative differential resistance. Operation in the avalanche breakdown region is called avalanche mode operation: it gives avalanche transistors the ability to switch very high currents with less than a nanosecond rise and fall times.
